Chapter 413: Running Couple
Because Baeksang added drama awards last year, even the first half alone took an hour and a half.
This is without interspersed cabaret performances.
After Jin Qixuan left the podium, the three hosts came on stage to conclude the first half of the award ceremony and warm up for the second half.
Twenty minutes later, the second half of the awards ceremony began on time.
The first award to be awarded is the "Best Male and Female Variety Artist Award".
As expected, the best male variety artist was won by Liu Jae Suk for "What Are You Doing?"
When delivering his acceptance speech, Yoo Jae Suk also mentioned Kim Qi Xuan and Lee Ji Eun.
Then, the best female variety artist was Park Na-rae for "I Live Alone".
After the awards in the variety show department were awarded, it was the turn of the screenplay award, technical award and other behind-the-scenes awards.
Although these awards are prerequisites for winning the Grand Prize, most viewers are not very interested in them.
Even if the director frequently gives shots to Jin Qixuan and Li Zhien, it is still difficult to escape the trend of declining online numbers.
It wasn't until the awards were presented to the grand finale that the number of people in the live broadcast room gradually increased.
“The winner of the 56th Baeksang Arts Awards TV Category Best Actress is——”
“Congratulations to Kim Ae-ae, who plays Ji Sun Woo in “The World of the Married” You!”
"Hua Hua Hua..."
Although our Ms. Zhien's performance in "Hotel Del Luna" is very eye-catching.
But facing seniors in the TV drama industry such as Kim Ae-ae, Gong Hyo-jin, and Son Ye-jin, I still seem a little immature.
Again, being nominated is the greatest recognition of her acting skills.
What's more, she has been nominated for Baeksang Video Queen for two consecutive years.
Of course, compared to last year, Lee Ji-eun, who was still more obsessed with the honor of "Baeksang TV Queen", is now completely calm.
The main thing is to have self-awareness...
After all, judging from the lineup of finalists last year, she still has a certain chance of getting it.
After the Baeksang Vision was awarded, the Vision Emperor was captured by Jiang Hena.
Regarding Jiang Ha Neul's win, most of the netizens in the live broadcast room expressed their congratulations and approval.
The actors shortlisted for this year's TV drama all performed very well in the play, and no one who wins the award is considered an upset.
The next step is to award the best actor and best actress awards in the film department.
The best actress was won by Jung Youmi for "Kim Ji Young Born in 1982".
The Best Actor Award was won by Lee Byung-hun for "The Ministers of Namsan".
It is a bit regretful for Jin Qixuan not to win this year's Baeksang Best Actor.
It's not that he is obsessed with awards, he just wants to win a Grand Slam.
Suppose that this year’s Baeksang Best Actor was won by Jin Qixuan.
Then he will become the youngest Grand Slam winner in all fields (newcomer, supporting actor, best actor) in the history of Korean film, and he will definitely be recorded in the history of Korean film!
Unfortunately, such achievement is destined to take a few years.
In this regard, Jin Qixuan could only lament that "the old thief Li Bingxian should not die."
To be honest, he does not feel that his performance in "When a Man Falls in Love" is worse than Lee Byung-hun's performance in "The Ministers of Namsan".
However, he is Baixiang's "own son" who can't stand it.
What's more, Jin Qixuan's performance in "When a Man Loves" was not completely crushing. Last year, he also lost to Zheng Woosheng in Blue Dragon.
Therefore, when the number of votes from the judges is almost the same, qualifications become the key.
However, speaking of it, the Best Actor and Best Actress at this year's Daejong, Blue Dragon, and Baeksang award ceremonies were not won by the same person.
This also illustrates how fierce the competition in Chungmulu this year is.
The following presentation of the Best Director Awards in the TV Department and Film Department was surprising.
If it is a pity that Kim Qixuan did not win this year's Baeksang Best Actor, then it is an upset that Bong Joon-ho did not win the Best Director.
Can you believe that Bong Joon-ho, who won the Oscar and the Daejong Best Director Award, actually lost to newcomer director Kim Bo-ra?
Actually, it’s not the judges’ fault.
It’s really true that the great directors in Chungmuro were so awesome in 2019, and all kinds of good films came out in endless streams.
Although "Parasite" is of high quality, "Hummingbird" is not bad either, not to mention that the latter is a youth film directed by a female director.
Although a large number of outstanding male directors have emerged in the Peninsula film industry today, such as Bong Joon-ho, Park Chan-wook, Kim Ji-woon, Hong Sang-soo, Lee Chang-dong, etc.
But there are very few female directors, let alone well-known female directors.
As a film industry that the Peninsula is proud of, how can it work without a well-known female director?
Therefore, when the level difference is not too big, the judges want to support female directors and new directors.
However, despite losing the "Best Director" award, "Parasite" still won the film department award without any suspense.
This also allowed Bong Joon-ho to use the speech of thanks he prepared for the best director at the Grand Awards...
As for the TV drama script award, it was won by "When the Camellia Blooms" Get.
This work truly deserves the Grand Prize.
"Crash Landing on You" is weak in terms of thematic depth and social significance.
The emotional expression and cultural connotation of "Major League Baseball" are not as rich as "When the Camellia Blooms", and the overall influence and emotional resonance of "Hyena" are not as strong as "The Camellia Begins".
As for zombie movies like "Kingdom", it's okay not to mention it.
The 56th Baeksang Arts Awards has come to an end as the final awards for the film and TV drama categories have been awarded.
There is no biggest winner, the awards are distributed evenly.
However, netizens were very dissatisfied that Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin only received the popularity award.
After all, the performance of the two in "Crash Landing on You" last year was indeed outstanding and it was one of the most popular Korean dramas in recent years.
But in this awards ceremony, the play only received one of the seven nominations, which is enough to show that there are some problems with the script.
In fact, this drama is basically supported by Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin, which is the so-called "people's protection drama".
The reason why netizens were dissatisfied was mainly because they couldn't get over the fact that the two couldn't get together in reality.
At the end of the award ceremony, the artists present left one after another.
Due to the epidemic, the celebration dinner was canceled by default.
But if you want to celebrate in private, then that’s out of your hands.
Jin Qixuan was invited to attend the celebration party of "Parasite".
From the beginning of Cannes last May to the end of this year's Baeksang, "Parasite" won awards for a whole year and created a lot of history.
It is a bit exaggerated to say that it is timeless and relevant to the present, but it will definitely be recorded in the history of film.
Therefore, it is indeed worth celebrating.
However, Jin Qixuan declined.
On the one hand, Bong Joon-ho and Song Kang-ho are not here, on the other hand, he has to go home and heal each other with Li Zhien.
It doesn’t matter that Jin Qixuan didn’t win the Baeksang Best Actor award, so he naturally had to act graceful in front of outsiders.
But in front of his wife, he naturally has to complain and ask for comfort and hugs.
Li Zhien, who didn’t get the post-view, felt the same way.
Therefore, the two really need to heal each other several times...
The next day.
The popularity of the Baeksang Awards Ceremony continues to grow on the Internet, and related topics are firmly occupied on the hot search list.
#56th Baeksang Arts Awards Winner List#
#金奇兴miss Baeksang Best Actor#
#Bong Joon-ho did not win the Best Director#
#Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin only won the Popularity Award#
#《parasite》Perfect Ending#
#江河娜 winning the Baeksangshi Emperor#
……
Among them, there are naturally words of congratulations and congratulations.
But more often than not, netizens complain about all kinds of difficulties.
However, the scene where the young couple Jin Qixuan and Li Zhien showed off their affection at the award ceremony was also talked about by netizens.
Originally, netizens felt quite sorry for the fact that Jin Qixuan had been with Baeksang Best Actor for two years and Lee Ji-eun had been with Baeksang Movie for two years.
But seeing how loving the two were, netizens swallowed their regrets one after another. After all, it is so rare to have a double harvest in career and love. It would be great to have even one of them.
What's more, strictly speaking, the results achieved by Jin Qixuan and Li Zhien in their respective fields are already considered top-notch.
However, many netizens still jokingly called the two "running couples", and they even became a hot search topic.
Of course, this is just a joke.
From the side, it shows the popularity and nationality of the young couple.
Although Kim Qixuan has been with Baeksang for two years, he won the Best Actor Award at the Grand Bell Awards for two consecutive years.
Although Lee Ji-eun did not win the Baeksang Movie Award, she also won all three awards for Best New Actress in a Movie.
Therefore, if the word "accompanying" is applied to these two people, 99% of the actors in the peninsula will die of shame.
The couple is happy to accept this title.
He even posted a video on Instagram to publicly respond to netizens’ “ridicule”.
In the video, Li Zhien first held up the mobile phone and looked pretty for a while, then moved to Jin Qixuan who was reading the script behind him and said:
"Husband, netizens ask us to accompany the running couple."
" It’s a pretty cute title.”
Jin Qixuan turned his head to look at his wife, smiled and said: "It can be regarded as a different kind of outing."
Seeing this, Li Zhien blinked and said in a naughty tone:
"Then what do you say? , can we get the title of "Award-winning Couple" next year? ”
"I think it's okay."
Hearing this, Jin Qixuan nodded very solemnly:
"I will call the judges of Baeksang later and we must give us awards next year. , If you don’t see me off, you will sit in front of their house.”
After saying that, he waved his fist, looking vicious.
“Pfft——”
Looking at her husband’s appearance, Li Zhien couldn’t help laughing.
The video ends here.
When netizens saw this video, they immediately expressed that they were fed another mouthful of dog food.
The title of the two in the fan circle has ranged from the "part-time CP" in "Bed and Breakfast" to the "top partner" in "Same Bed, Strange Dreams 2" to the "running couple" today.
No matter how the names change, what remains unchanged is the blessing for the relationship between the two.
However, the only thing that makes fans a little regretful is that the two have been married for nearly half a year and they don’t even have children.
It wasn’t the fans who prompted the birth, but the genes of both of them are so good that it would be a pity not to have a child.
Fans were not too anxious before. After all, the two of them are not too old and are both on the rise in their careers. It is reasonable to not have children for the time being.
But since the outbreak of the epidemic at the beginning of this year, the two of them have no schedule and can only stay at home.
This means that the two of them now have a lot of time to make a baby.
Putting aside their status as artists, they are indeed at the age where they should have children.
However, what makes fans regretful is that there is still no movement in Li Zhien's stomach.
……
On the Internet, the discussion about this year's Baeksang winner list lasted for more than a week before gradually subsided.
At this time, what makes Jin Qixuan happy is that the epidemic situation on the peninsula has miraculously improved.
The number of new cases every day has dropped to single digits, and there have been no community transmissions and no deaths for many consecutive days.
In response, the official also announced that the epidemic prevention level has been reduced to the lowest level.
This gave Jin Qixuan, who had already prepared to continue working at home in the second half of the year, the hope of opening a business.
Sure enough, in mid-June, director Huang Donghyuk sent a notice in the group.
This means that the crew of "Squid Game" is scheduled to start filming on June 20 at the Daejeon City Video Filming Park.
The shooting time is expected to be five months, and the filming will be completed before the year.
To prevent accidents.
Huang Donghyuk requested that the number of visits from relatives and friends be reduced, and each creative staff member was only allowed to bring one assistant into the set.
The actors must also stay in the hotel designated by the crew and are not allowed to go out without permission unless there are special circumstances.
Although the current epidemic has been temporarily controlled, for the sake of safety, the crew decided to conduct closed management throughout the entire process.
After seeing this news, Jin Qixuan was naturally very happy.
Although the life of picking my feet at home is comfortable, it is really boring.
After learning the news, although Li Zhien was a little resentful, he still helped Jin Qixuan pack his luggage virtuously.
"We made a three-part agreement."
"First of all, take a rest after the show and be sure to send a message as soon as possible."
"Secondly, don't get close to the actress."
"Finally, no matter how late it is, you must video chat with me."
"And..."
"Wait!" Jin Qixuan interrupted her, "You are not talking about three chapters. Ah!”
Li Zhien wrinkled his nose, glanced at him, and said, "Do you have any objections?"
Jin Qixuan: "..."
How dare he!
On the afternoon of June 19th.
Jin Qixuan took his suitcase and assistant to the hotel designated by the crew.
The whole process of "Squid Game" was shot in the film and television park, so there was no need to travel to locations across the country.
Therefore, the crew also saved the actors the trouble of traveling and traveling directly to a hotel near the park.
After everyone had arrived, we went to have a launch banquet together.
Ten o'clock the next morning.
"Squid Game" is officially launched.
To Jin Qixuan's surprise, many Netflix executives came to attend the ceremony.
But think about it.
The total investment in "Squid Game" is about US$21 million, which is relatively cheap compared to Netflix's investment in European and American dramas.
But in the history of Korean dramas, it can be regarded as an upper-middle-level large-scale production, and it can be called Netflix's largest investment in Asia.
If you can't get Netflix's attention in this way, then how can you get attention?
After the opening ceremony and the filming of promotional stills, the first scene was the rivalry scene between Jin Qixuan and Kong Liu on the subway.
Originally, according to the plan, it was supposed to be a smooth shoot, with the male lead Cheng Qixun being established first.
But because Gong Liu’s schedule was quite tight, Huang Donghyuk decided to film his guest role first.
Since the two of them had already reviewed this plot several times during the online script reading, the filming process was very smooth.
In just three hours, three scenes were filmed: the two met in the subway, slapped each other while playing games, and parted ways.
Huang Donghyuk looked at the playback footage on the monitor and was very satisfied with the performances of the two actors.
Especially Jin Qixuan.
The expressions and tone are just right, establishing Cheng Qixun as a loser without making the audience annoying.
After Kong Liu finished filming, the next step was for the director to talk and the actors to perform.
By the time we finished work in the evening, it was already past nine o'clock.
After returning to the hotel room, Jin Qixuan immediately sent a video notification to Li Zhien.
